I was lucky enough to win a spot in the Big Picture class, Picture Color, from the Shutter Sisters blog. The main idea is to focus your lens on the colors that surround you in June. Today’s prompt had to do with bliss. The colors that make you swoon, that define your summer moments, that surround you, and those which you embrace the most.

For me, that color is green.

I feel it symbolizes growth. My plants usually start out green and then throw out blossoms or fruit of various colors. It all starts with green, though. From the marigold seeds I planted in April to the tomato plant I’ve watched grow over the past few weeks– green was first.

I feel extraordinary amounts of bliss when I am touching, smelling, or tasting the garden. Green represents that. It’s everywhere I want to be.
